This bug still seems to be present (at least testing with 12.10). The best workaround seems to be:
1. Set permissions of /root to 0711 in the firstboot script. 2. Reset the permissions of /root to 0700 at the end of the firstboot script. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to vm-builder in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378639 Title: firstlogin script can't be executed because the permission of /root directory is 0700 in the virtual machine created by python-vm-builder To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vm-builder/+bug/378639/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
